Misleading…

Some graphs have misleading information such as not having a scale or the scale starts

at another number other than 0. Misleading graphs are very common where information is shown in the incorrect way.

One more slide away…

From some research, we have collected information on misleading statistics and pointed out the misleads

which have been spotted. After this presentation we hope you would understand

more about misleading graphs and how to identify them.
